[A Former User]

Oh I saw its on all the paths (the running also).
But the error at all the modules are

ERROR on loading script XYZ

The scripts are in the given folder.

@stephen a file system problem again.

U need to run fsck , the Unix chkdsk.
But u can’t run on the boot drive while system is running …

Google search ‘fsck raspberry pi’

I have another Linux system i can use.

oh lord… I quess I have something…
WTF.

I quess it was my mistake… Was it?

Some modules are in /MagicMirror/node_modules/
and some are in /MagicMirror/modules

[sdetweil]

@stephen node_modules are the ones download by install in support of the mirror… all good

modules are the add ons to the MagicMirror

[A Former User]

Maybe it has something to do with the

npm install

sometimes I had to run (as discribed at the mod-pages)?

I’ll try to pull the modules in the right folder and give it a try

[sdetweil]

@stephen no… don’t change anything… npm install built the node_modules folder… it is ok…

[A Former User]

Hell…thats it!

I’ve reinstalled the “not-working” / not showing modules INTO the /modules folder and it simply works!

Have a big thanks @sdetweil !

Its not always a filesystem-problem, sometimes the problem is right in front of the keyboard :D

[sdetweil]

@stephen cool

[sdetweil]

@stephen sorry, I misread your 1st post… I took it to mean it HAD been working and all of a sudden it was not…

got to learn to read more carefully!

can u mark your problem resolved?

@stephen You can start MM with developer mode. This can be done by using the cmd shell inside the MagicMirror folder and run the following command:

npm start dev

or when you’re MM is already running use the shortcut ctrl+shift+I. This article from @Mykle1 gives you all the info you need.

All of this can be done will using VNC. (I use VNC as well :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

Good luck!
